One of the first things that a puppy must learn is its name, but puppies potty training has to be the next most important.  The puppy’s bodily functions truly do affect your life and it needs to be taught the appropriate place to relieve itself.  This can be an easy task if you know what you are doing, but it can be just as difficult if you do not.

As with children, puppies need to mature or grow mentally and physically before they have control over their bodily functions.  Young puppies need to develop their muscles for bladder control and their brains so that they can be trained.  Puppies younger than 12 weeks old will be difficult to train. although this is not impossible.  As they grow older it takes less time for puppies potty training because of their development.  A puppy of six months old might take only a few days to train.

Training is not an overnight project and it might take some time to see success.  The important thing is to keep at it and don’t lose your patience.  Dogs learn by repetition and any kind of training is based on reward and correction.  This is especially true with puppies potty training, they must know what you want them to do.  Show the puppy where to go and where not to go.

Puppies Potty Training – One Step At A Time

It might be a good idea to start with paper training.  Using a newspaper, you first train the puppy to go on the newspaper.  After you have accomplished that you can start training to go outside.

Observe your puppy and see what its habits are.  Most puppies will have “to go” around 15 to 30 minutes after eating.  This will be a good time period to observe the puppy.  You should watch constantly during puppies potty training, but this can be difficult if you must leave for work or other activities.  Don’t give up, it may just take you a little longer for the training.

Always clean up messes thouroghly so that the puppy does not get the scent of the last place it went.  Dogs like to return to the same spot to urinate or eliminate.  You can use one of the products specifically designed for this task.  If you don’t have these products, use soap and water and then club soda.  Make sure that you take the dirty rags outside because they have the scent on them.

The things to remember in puppies potty training are:
– a puppy must mature a bit so that it has control over its functions and can be
trained
– be patient and consistent and don’t lose your temper
– use reward and correction; always use exaggerated praise when your puppy does
the right thing
– watch your puppy and learn its habits
– start with paper training
– clean up messes quickly and take the rags outside
– don’t give up
– get a training guide if you are unsure or are having problems

Potty Training Puppies – Best Approaches, Tips & Techniques

Potty training puppies is one of the most important jobs dog owners have. It’s an essential skill your dog should learn very early in life, especially if you want your own life as its owner to be a lot less stressful.

Of course, the first thing you should realize before training is that your puppy is a baby. It doesn’t have full control over its own bowel movements, and it will need time and practice before it learns when and where to do its business.

In addition, your puppy’s learning capability is determined by its breed – some dog breeds are just naturally easier to potty train than others. On average, it may take around two to three weeks before your puppy is fully potty-trained.

Here’s a list of the essential guidelines for puppy potty training:

1. Start early – Potty training should start the moment you get your puppy home. When you let your dog out into the house, confine it to areas with washable flooring and don’t let it near carpeted rooms. During the instances that you can’t watch your puppy, keep it in a confined area or large box at all times, without exception.

2. Proper feeding – Feeding must take place at the same times every day. Developing a routine is essential here. You should typically give your puppy its food and water at least four hours before bedtime and then withdraw its water bowl two hours before bedtime. Feed your puppy dry food in order to keep its stools dry.

3. Regular potty walks – Set a regular schedule for taking your puppy outside. The recommended times are: first thing in the morning, ten to fifteen minutes after every meal or drink, every time it wakes from a long nap or ends an active play session, and last thing at night. Do not play with your puppy until it has defecated. If there is no action after ten minutes take the puppy back inside. Wait around ten minutes and then take it out again to do its business.

4. Punishment – Never, ever scold or punish your puppy if you don’t catch it in the act. Dogs have no way of knowing what you’re angry at them for unless you’re actually scolding them while they’re doing it. If you see your puppy starting to urinate or defecate in the house, say “No!”, pick it up, and take it out to finish its business. Never yell at your puppy or get angry at it for these accidents. Instead, accept some of the blame; you should have been watching your dog better.

5. Rewards – Every time your puppy poops in the proper place, praise it using an approving tone, petting, and gestures, and reward it with a little playtime together. Praise always, always works better than any form of punishment.

6. Cleanliness – Keep your puppy’s box or living area clean by removing its stools everyday. Your dog dislikes stepping in them as much as you do.

Puppy potty training doesn’t have to be hard, or messy, or a constant daily struggle. Don’t view the activity as a tedious, menial obligation or the downside of owning a puppy.

Instead, look at it as one of the first bonding experiences between you and your pet. Just a slight shift in your mindset will make the whole experience a lot easier and happier, resulting in a healthier and more loving relationship with your canine companion.
